Profile:
Ajith de Silva was a highly rated left arm orthodox spinner
within his homeland. It was a great disappointment to his
supporters when he failed to make a significant impact at the
highest level. De Silva was selected in the inaugural test team
that played England at Colombo. He had a steady, though somewhat
disappointing debut taking two wickets in each innings, bowling
with admirable accuracy but failing to give the ball sufficient
flight on what was a favorable wicket for spin bowling. It was
expected that along with D.S. de Silva, he would form a spin
combination that would hold Sri Lanka in good stead during its
formative years in test cricket. However, this was not the case,
his returns in three other tests were below expectations. On the
tour to Pakistan he bowled accurately at Karachi and Faisalabad
but struggled to dismiss test quality batsman. He ended any
further chance of representing Sri Lanka when in 1982/83 he
joined the tour to South Africa. (Contributed by Johann P
